HDTV Deal: 55-inch Panasonic Smart LED TV: $599.99 (TC-55AS530U)

By Chris Boylan

I guess Black Friday is starting early this year because Panasonic just started selling their 55-inch AS530 Smart LED HDTV (TC-55AS530U) for the ridiculously low price of $599.99 with free shipping. That's $400 off the already affordable price of $1000 and $200 below their previous lowest sale price on the TV.  They say that this sale price is good until October 27 but we seriously doubt stock will last that long. So if you're in the market for a solid name-brand 1080p HDTV with streaming features, you might want to snag this deal while you can.

UPDATE: Panasonic is out of stock but Best Buy has the same deal here:
The AS530 is a full HD 1080p HDTV with a native refresh rate of 120 Hz and Panasonic's "240 BLB" feature (backlight blinking) which ensures sharp fast-moving images without motion trails. It includes Panasonic's Life+ Screen which integrates streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon VOD, VUDU, YouTube and more along with social media apps in a home screen that can be easily customized for each viewer.

The set includes built-in WiFi networking so you won't need to run a network cable to your TV in order to take advantage of all the networking and streaming features. There's a built-in web browser and even a "Remote Sharing" feature which allows you to share video memos and messages with TV viewers at home while you're on the road.
